Tonight SG and I watched the movie Westworld. We both had seen it years ago and really enjoyed it. I have to say that it has not aged well for me. The movie was made in 1973 and had an interesting story at the time. It was written and directed by Michael Crichton. Watching it tonight I kept wondering why I remember it so fondly?
This is not the first time this has happened. Sometimes it is downright painful to watch a movie I have not seen in twenty years or so. Time really does funny things with our memories. Does anyone else have any movies that they watched and loved as a kid, but can't stand to see today?

Absolutely! "Mary Poppins" just wasn't the same for me when I watched it 35 years after I had seen it for the first time. The same applies to "West Side Story" (I cried my eyes out when I first saw that movie at the age of 6 - it had a profoundly depressing effect on me), and "How the West was Won". The only movie that I can think of that had a similar effect on me when I watched it many years after I had first seen it was "The Sound of Music". I thought it was a collosal bore the first time I saw it and my opinion didn't change over the years....

I feel the same way about "The Sound of Music too"!!! I never understood people's fascination with it.
